Tractor / PTO Shaft Hookup
Rotating driveline contact can cause death. KEEP AWAY!
Shut down tractor when making connection.
Do not operate without guards attached and driveline securely
attached at both ends.
1. Verify that the tractor drawbar height, and tractor
PTO-to-drawbar spacing, are within ASAE stan-
dards, or as shown on page 25.
2. Position the PTO pump on the tractor’s PTO shaft
with the coupler bolt removed on the splined end.
3. Push the coupler of the pump on to align with notch
in the tractor PTO shaft and install bolt.
4. For a 540 RPM pump or a 1000 RPM 1 3 ⁄
8
in spline
pump, torque the 1 ⁄
2
in Grade 8 coupler bolts to 105
ft-lbs.
5. Rotate the PTO shaft by hand to make sure the bolts
clear the PTO shielding.
6. Attach the torque bar chain to the drawbar securely.
7. Hook the tarp strap in such a way that the slack in
the chain is taken up slowly when the PTO is
engaged so the torque bar does not bang.
8. Tie up any loose hoses with cable ties to prevent
hose damage.
Refer to Figure 11
9.
If ASAE dimensions can be maintained, re-adjust the
tractor drawbar so that the implement end of the driv-
eline centerline, at the bearing housing is level with
or slightly higher than the output centerline at the
tractor. This reduces driveline vibration when turning
a corner.
Refer to Figure 12
10. If insufficient (or no) hitch adjustment is available,
adjust the rear driveline height by loosening the four
bolts
securing the pump mount.
If, after adjusting the vertical position of the pump drive-shaft,
the drive-shaft is still much higher than the PTO drive-shaft on
the tractor, adjust the hitch up one position and readjust the
pump drive-shaft. See “Leveling Sprayer” on page 25.
